Gallbladder issues but june 6 sleeve date



Recommended Posts

I have started my pre-op diet and been doing great. My surgery is scheduled for June 6 but I am feeling pain under my breast on the right side. I believe it is my gall bladder and I do not want it to interfere with my surgery. What can I do to ease the pain so it doesn't interfere. I am so ready for my surgery.

You should probably talk to your surgeon. Sometimes they take out the gallbladder during VSG surgery, so maybe he could just take it out while he's in there. It is really common for people to have gallbladder problems after rapid weight loss, so if you are having problems now it will probably be worse after surgery. Its something that's worth talking to your surgeon about. Good luck!

I think you should talk to the sugeon asap and see what alll that is about? before your surgery. You dont want any complication during surgery

Agree about checking with your surgeon. He/she will probably just remove it at the same time. A lot of people wind up having their gallbladder removed anyway. Or shouldn't delay getting sleeved.

Your surgeon needs to know ASAP so he/she can make the best decision for your overall health. That is what's most important at this point. I hope the attack isn't so bad and the GB can just be removed during the sleeve procedure.

Good luck!

I do not want anything to change when I get my sleeve. That is why I do not want to say anything at all. I have been waiting for this and would be devastated if I do joy have it when it is scheduled.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
